Book Quiz 2024

Wednesday, January 22, 2025


How many books read in 2024?

110. I know the graphic above says 109 and I cannot for the life of me work out which one I didn't record on Goodreads, but I know my paper records are right! 

How many were on paper and how many electronic?

I think I've read approx sixty in paperback, fifteen hardbacks, thirty electronic books, by which I mean read in the Kindle app on my tablet, and I listened to five audiobooks. 

Fiction/Non-Fiction ratio?

I think I read only eight non fiction books. That's just who I am as a person. Non fiction has to be a subject I'm interested in for me to even give it a go, even though I read a lot of different genres of fiction. 

Male/Female authors?

I think I read about twenty three books either by men solely or co authored by men, and a couple by non binary authors. The rest were all - as far as I know - women 

Most books by a single author?

I read a lot of Val McDermid in 2024, and enjoyed each of them! 

Favourite book(s) read?

I really liked Wild Strawberries by Angela Thirkell and am really glad to have found her. I also liked Jean Ure, who I discovered after a friend sent me one of her books 

Least favourite?

The Four by Ellie Keel for sure, I really didn't think it was worth finishing in a lot of ways

Oldest book read?

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F Scott Fitzgerald, which was published in 1925. I listened to it on audiobook and liked it 

Newest?

A couple of the netgalley books I read aren't published until 2025 so let's say one of those: Making A Killing by Cara Hunter

Longest book title?

I'm not adding letters up so let's say something different to Benjamin Button and say The Idle Stance of the Tippler Pigeon by Safinah Danish Elahi. Or Confessions of A Forty Something Fuck Up by Alexandra Potter

Shortest title?

Keedie by Elle Nichol I think 

How many re-reads?

I so rarely reread because there are just so many books waiting in the world to be read! But I had read both stories in Almost Midnight by Rainbow Rowell before so I guess technically that was a reread. 

Any in translation?

As far as I know none of them were translated. 

How many of this year's books were from the library?

Fewer than the year before I think, as I've been trying to make a dent in my huge TBR pile (shelves full). Reading back over my notes, I think it's twelve, but it feels a lot less!
